The practical TTL is 3 hours.

But dummy stub zones (which is what is being I'm requesting) require
changes in the root zone to add a insecure delegation to not break
other things. That requires IANA to be instructed to do so.
You may not care that validating stub resolvers that ask for
example.local get back answers that can be validated as NXDOMAIN
without leaking queries to the root but I do. Just adding the zone
locally without having the insecure delegation results in just that
condition.
For all the zones in RFC 6303 that is what we instructed IANA to
do. I had to open a few trouble ticket with IANA to get them all
installed but there was the documentation there to back up the
trouble tickets. We then had to do this for 100.64/10 with RFC
7793 which was required co-ordinatation between IANA and ARIN.
